the food we eat: how safe?

i was not able to get hold of the tabloid last friday. so, i don't know if they had a follow-up article about the worm discovered in chowking noodles (see my previous post). this is really alarming! i've heard so many stories from friends and colleagues who had these kind of traumatic experiences. some of these are:

1) pubic hair (of all hairs!) found in my officemate's hot & spicy chicken meal (at a fastfood chain in cagayan de oro city)

2) dead cockroach (thank God, it is already dead! hehe) found after my colleague consumed (bottoms up?!) his noodle soup (at a chinese restaurant in malate)

3) hair (don't know what kind) found by a tablemate in her braised beef (at a fastfood chain in glorietta). fortunately or unfortunately, her ordered meal was replaced by a hot, steaming braised beef (i wonder if they just took the hair out and reheat it)

i also had my own account of these kind of nightmares but mine is considered light since i did not find something in my food (so far.. or is it just that i was not looking?). it was in a fastfood chain in butuan city wherein part of the glass wall at the dining area was always teeming with BIG flies. i just dismissed it hoping the kitchen area (where food is prepared and utmost proper hygiene is observed) is not as bad as the dining area. is i don't know if those creatures still exist there today..

considering these restaurants are considered reputable, who would have thought that in terms of cleanliness, aling tindeng's carenderia is just as competitive as they are?

i am wondering, what proper actions are being taken into by the concerned agencies e.g., Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) and respective Local Govenment Units (LGUs) about it?

while you are also thinking about it, allow me please to enjoy now my burger meal. bon appetit! :)

unclean chowking food?! is this true?

this is really horrifying! i almost vomited when i read from the tabloid this morning that there is a complaint on the food served at chowking. i was munching something for my breakfast then (not chowking breakfast meal, i assure you) when the headline caught my attention. you could imagine the ordeal i went through while preventing myself from throwing up (sigh!).

going back to the subject, i don't usually read tabloids as the news they feature is most of the time exaggerated. but this article really bothers me! as a person who is always on the go and who has no time cooking my own food and who loves chinese cuisine, i eat at chowking almost every weekend. their yang chow rice topped with pork siomai is really yummy! (gosh!)

my concern now is, where am i going to take my lunch this weekend and thereafter? big problem...

Citizenship for Sale?!

Long time ago, my ex-husband applied for a US visa. Fortunately (hehe), he was denied. He was so devastated.. as if it was the end of his world. Well, he should take this survey...

Money... money... money...

I just could not understand other people who believe that talking about money is a taboo. Living in this real world requires purchasing power to buy things you need (or if you have more of it, you can acquire even your wants). And to have a purchasing power, you should have a medium, and that's money. Unless of course you still live in a stone age wherein bartering of goods was a way of life and money was still unheard of at that time.

To say that money is not important is hypocrisy. If it is not, then why should we still need to earn a living and try to climb the corporate ladder? Why could we just throw away the money we have right now and go to the mountains and live there till we die? We could do the latter but i am sure very exceptional few (if there is any) will take action. Why is that? That is something to ponder on..
